I'm from the koji side, what sort of light do you need shed?  Currently
all the output from an arch build is imported into the database and
written to the master koji filesystem.  Builds that produce the same
n-v-r-a are going to fail at the import.

I don't think that will be possible.  We might be able to just import
the first produced noarch subpackage and skip all the others.

It would make the kernel build less complicated in the koji config, but
not by much.  We already have to tell koji to run the build through
again as i586 as well as i686, so doing it for noarch was just one more
entry.
